[SOLVED] PHP error

[Dustin]

<?php

$d=date ("D m");

if ($d="sept07");

  echo "it's fall";

else

  echo "it's not fall";

 ?>

 

it's small but hey it's my first day.

 

but I get this error

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/theweath/public_html/dustintest/dustintestphp.php on line 5

 

Thoughts?

Try:

 

<?php
$d=date ("D,m");
if ($d=="sept 07"){
  echo ("it's fall");
}else echo {("it's not fall");}
echo"&nbsp";?>

[Fadion]

no it should be:

 

<?php
$d = date("M y");
if($d == "sept 07"){
  echo "it's fall";
} else{
  echo "it's not fall";
  echo "&nbsp";
}
?>

 

For comparison u should have the equality operators "==". Date("M y") should give u a date like "sept 07".

[Dustin]

Now I get this.

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/theweath/public_html/dustintest/dustintestphp.php on line 3

[darkfreaks]

there is no ; on line 3?

[Fadion]

If u're talking about my code, it is ok!!. Also i made an error with the date comparison. It should be:

 

if($d == "Sep 07"){

[sstangle73]

<?php
$d = date("M y");
if($d == "sept 07"){
  echo "it's fall";
} else{
  echo "it's not fall";
  echo "&nbsp";
}
?>

worked fine for me? is there something else on that page but that?

[Dustin]

yea it was fine.

 

it just had some fillers or something when I copied it. I got it working with this code.

 

<?php
$d==date ("DM");
if ($d=="oct 28th")
  echo "it is fall";
else
  echo "it is not fall";
?>

 

Question for you folks is... how do you make it say it is fall?

[sstangle73]

when it is fall

[Dustin]

so when oct 28th comes around the message will change? how does it know that?

[darkfreaks]

<?php
$d==date ("D,M");
if ($d=="oct 28th"){
  echo "it is fall";
}else{
  echo "it is not fall";}

?>

[Fadion]

$d==date ("DM");

 

should be:

$d=date ("DM");

 

The "DM" u used in date() make no sense for what u are aiming. "D" will give u "Mon", "Tue" etc. The full "DM" will give u for today: "Wed Sep". For lets say "Oct 28" u will need "M j" where "j" is the day of the month without leading zeros.

[Fadion]

so when oct 28th comes around the message will change? how does it know that?

 

The script is such that when the date is 28 October it will print the message, otherwise print the other message. The full one should be:

 

<?php
$d = date("M j");
if($d == "Oct 28"){
  echo "it's fall";
} else{
  echo "it's not fall";
}
?>

[darkfreaks]

<?php
$d=date ("F,j");
if ($d=="octtober 28th"){
  echo "it is fall";
}else{
  echo "it is not fall";}

?>

[sstangle73]

exactly what the code says when $d == date ("D,M"); which shows today's date.  if you wanna try it try this code

<?php
$d=date ("M j");
if ($d=="Sep 4"){
  echo "it is 9/4";
}else{
  echo "it isnt 9/4";}

?>

LMFAO this is hilarious..

 

YOu know this only tells it if it is EXACTLY october 28 and not any day before or after.

 

 

So itll only tell you teh start of fall, and next day itll say it snot fall !!!

[Fadion]

exactly what the code says when $d == date ("D,M"); which shows today's date.  if you wanna try it try this code

<?php
$d=date ("M j");
if ($d=="Sep 4"){
  echo "it is 9/4";
}else{
  echo "it isnt 9/4";}

?>

 

What's the difference of this to mine code?

[sstangle73]

my code has it passing on sept 4th and failing every other date so he can see what happens when it passes.

[d22552000]

uh.. today is Sept 5... -,-.

[Fadion]

my code has it passing on sept 4th and failing every other date so he can see what happens when it passes.

 

The codes are totally alike with a string of difference. Anyway not that it really matters.

 

@d22552000, id say good point. Probably he can use smth like:

 

$date = date("M j");
list($month, $day) = explode(' ', $date);
$day = intval($day);
if($month == 'Sept' and $day >= 7){
    echo "It is Fall";
} else{
    echo "No its not";
}

 

Or whatever like that which makes it work.

[darkfreaks]

Try that:

 

<?php
$d=date ("F j");
if ($d=="September 05"){
 echo "it is September 05";
}else{
 echo "it is not September 05";}

?>

[Dustin]

It's the 4th in the US...

 

Plus I want something that AUTOMATICALLY changes.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, thank you.
